Part of the Family

Many of you probably remember me talking about the boys I watched last summer, well this summer was no different. It was a summer jam-packed of good 'ol fashion fun and lots of testosterone! These boys have become very dear to me and even though they like to push their limits, they are wonderful! This summer was full of trips to the neighborhood pool, pools around town that have awesome things like high dives and water slides, a trip to the blueberry farm, and lots of friends.

Not only do I love these three rascals, but I also adore their parents. They have welcomed Stinson and I into their family with open arms, and we love spending time with them. We would definitely call them dear friends, and they are even somewhat like parents to us with ours being so far away. I am always excited to go back to school, but sad to have to leave these precious faces too.

I know that many of you have been waiting to see pictures from our North Carolina Trip, but there won't be any of my pictures, probably just ones that I steal from other people because I lost my camera our last day there. :( I know you are probably just as sad as I am, but my wonderful nanny family surprised me with a new camera! (They're amazing and did way too much I know! I am one lucky girl!) So now I can continue to take thousands of pictures of my dogs and my new students! Here are some pictures of our dinner with my new camera. Enjoy!

The oldest, and the one who tried my "parenting skills" with his ever changing mood swings!

The youngest and middle boys. How could you not fall in love with those smiles?!

I am so thankful to be a part of this wonderful family and am looking forward to our get togethers until next summer.
